.Noi fA.e new Brrrrrr, somebody pound the wall quick! I'm freezing to death! This was the daily cry in room 12 every night from Ianuary through March. It seems that the thermostat stuck, and by pounding the wall next to it the temperature would rise-gradually. This year the Piper was published under greater handicaps than ever be- fore. Because of the high cost of print- ing and typesetting, it was necessary to raise the price of the book to 51.50. Nevertheless, our valiant crews of workersgstruggled through seemingly endless hours and came out victorious. Brilliant Frank Allen, business man- ager, juggled the books calmly and always with a smile on his face. Even during the times when he was tearing his hair over the prospect of obtaining bids from typesetters, the same inevit- able grin spread across his face. Some- how they always seemed to state a price fit for a set of encyclopedias rather than our own little Piper. Others on the business staff were Shep Crim, who held up his end of the deal by selling every available Piper with the capable help of Bud Gregory, his assistantg Diana Roosevelt, by working day and night, was able to sell enough advertising to help finance the book, she was aided by Frannie Newell, assistant ad manager. These people can all be seen in the business staff picture. Wait, though! The Piper wasn't Baldwin's only publication. The first semester journalism class, for all of its inexperience. proved willing and able to put out a really fine 1944 football program. Tom Cookerly was editor and working under him , were Ruth Harrell and Charlotte Mill, associate editorsg Frank Allen, business managerg Diana Roosevelt, ad manager: and Marilyn Harris, sales. Seen in the picture are the editor, sales manager, and Miss McGiffin, adviser. -RUTH HARRELL. -CHARLOTTE MILL.

ir 5 , eague Ever since the organization of the Girls' League at Baldwin three years ago, there has been a decided change in the school spirit of the girls. This is one of the few organizations exclusively for girls. At the beginning of each semester the League has a party for girls new to Baldwin. A big sister is selected for each new girl from the older girls in school. In the fall the party usually is a picnic and at mid-term a tea. Since Baldwin has no orientation pro- gram, these parties help girls to become ac- quainted with each other and their school. This organization is made up of 21 represen- tatives, one from each homeroom in the school. The officers are elected semi-annually. In the past year the group has had a most cooperative and able staff of officers. For the fall term there were Nancy Price, president: Gloria Max- well, social chairmang Nancy Hanson, financial chairman, Barbara Brenkert, service: Ruth Harrell, program: Charlotte Mill, recording secretary, and Ian Coil, corresponding sec- retary. In the spring term meetings were presided over by Barbara Brenkertg Ann Hansen was social chairmang Gloria Maxwell, financial chairman: Dorothy Davis, serviceg Sally Kreid- ler, programg Mary Quinn, recording secretaryp and Edith Kendall, corresponding secretary. The Girls' League provides ample oppor- tunity for service both in school,and for charity. In the Ianuary semester the League sponsored a book drive, and made knitted slippers for hospitalized service men for the Red Cross. The League is in charge of the matinee for the annual school play and also the matinee of the variety show. The girls receive ten percent of the profits each year. The decorated Christmas tree in Baldwin's front hall, which adds to the Christmas spirit, is another project of the girls. Under the most helpful guidance of Mrs. Carol Darling, the Girls' League has done a great deal to help girls of Baldwin take a more active part in school affairs. -GWEN CHAPMAN. Top-The Girls' League was capably managed by Barbara Brenkert and Nancy Price, presidents. Ad- vised by Mrs. Darling, they succeeded in every activity they entered.
